All 230 passengers and crew members aboard the 747 were killed when it crashed off the coast of Long Island. The documents indicate the NTSB is armed with facts it will use to pressure the Federal Avia tion Administration to adopt po tentially costly recommendations to reduce temperatures in fuel tanks to prevent other explosions. The NTSB revealed the results of tests last July in which it used an other Boeing 747 to try to duplicate the conditions faced by Flight 800. During the simulation, the agency found temperatures in the nearly empty center fuel tank be fore the plane took off were as high as 145 degrees, much higher than the 100 degrees at which an explo sion can be touched off. “This is the big issue,” said Peter Goelz, an NTSB spokesman, saying a full two days of this week's hear ings likely will be needed to focus on the issue of volatility of vapors and fuel in fuel tanks. Goelz said his agency was en couraged when the FAA last week agreed to take a closer look at NTSB recommendations made a year ago to reduce the volatility of vapors. The FAA has insisted that the prob lem can be resolved by eliminating any ignition source near the tank. “Our most important product in the end is our safety recommenda tions,” Goelz said. “Our job is to make recommendations so that these accidents don’t happen again.” The reports showed the NTSB has conducted hundreds of tests, including firing 105 gunshots at aluminum material to determine the type of hole that would be cut by a high-velocity object. The holes were unlike most holes found in the Flight 800 wreckage. The FBI investigated the possi bility that a bomb or a missile brought down the plane. But twc weeks ago, it suspended its probe after finding no evidence to sup port a criminal theory. The explosion and subsequen investigation attracted worldwide attention after 244 witnesses save streaks in the sky about the time o the explosion, which caused the FBI to aggressively investigate the possibility of a missile. A CIA study of what happenet to the plane concluded that nearb all of the witnesses actually sav the plane breaking up and explod ing into a fireball, not a missile. The NTSB is expected to show i videotape Monday to demonstrate what it believes happened to the plane. Goelz said the hearing this weel will only gather or report factua information — a probable cause for the explosion may not be deter mined until late next year. Lorena Bobbitt charged with assault si neigooor reporrea war Honour punched her 49-year-old mother in the face with a closed fist The Associated Press WOODBRIDGE, Va. — The woman known as Lorena Bobbitt when she was accused of cutting off her husband’s penis with a kitchen knife has been charged with assaulting her mother. Lorena Gallo, 28, who has used her maiden name since her divorce from John Wayne Bobbitt in 1995 and now lives with her parents, was freed on $750 bail. Neighbors told police that Gallo’s mother, 49-year old Elvia Gallo, was watching television Friday morning when her daughter entered the room and started punching her with a closed fist, police Lt. Tim Rudy said Sunday. He said that police didn’t know a motive and that there was no record of any previous incidents be tween the two women. There was no comment from Lorena Gallo, who i nas an unnstea teiepnone numDer. Elvia Gallo’s son separated the two women; Rudy did not know if he was Lorena Gallo’s brother. Lorena Gallo was arrested later Friday at a friend’s house, he said. Her mother suffered minor injuries, including an abrasion around the eyes and minor scratches, said police Lt. Paul Harris. During her widely publicized trial in 1994, Lorena Gallo said years of sexual abuse drove her to cut ofi her former husband’s penis, which was reattached surgically. She was found not guilty of malicious wounding by reason of insanity. Bobbitt, now 30, said last month he was leaving a life of talk shows and porno movies and moving tc the small town of Fallon, Nev., where four of his five brothers live. He said he is writing a book about his life and wants to find a job. Gallo was scheduled to be arraigned Monday, Rudy said. If she is convicted, she faces a maximum penalty of a year in jail and a $2,500 fine. guage mvB teries nntiV orient ■ philosophy ■ plays 1 referenccl re )imncc 1 science ’ sell' help study guides theatre uni \ erse westerns zoology a! 1 We buy , atfairPtuUh7year throughout wy at both logons. • • Text & General Book: (One block from campus) 768 E. 13th Ave. 345 1651 Smith Family Boo k s t o rc General Books (across from the Post Office) 525 Willamette St. 343-4717
